Prize Winning Basket of Kennedy Kwality Gladiolus 
In recent years there has been great improvement as to color and size of this wonderful flower, so in compiling 
our list, great care has been taken to select the best varieties in each color. Their long flowering season and stately 
habit together with their great variety of color and adaptability for all decorative purposes, command for them a 
prominent position in every garden. A succession of bloom may be had by planting the bulbs at intervals of two 
weeks, from April 15th to July 1Sth. 
Due, no doubt, to scientific treatment of planting stock for years our Gladiolus have always been free from thrip. 
As an added precaution and to be sure that bulbs supplied by us are absolutely free from this pest, we will also scien- 
tifically treat our bulbs again before shipment is made to our customers. 
Inasmuch as thrip lives in the soil, as well as on the bulbs in storage, through the winter, it is imperative that 
our bulbs be planted on soil where Gladioli were not grown last year and not close to other Gladioli from other 
sources. 
We guarantee our bulbs to be the largest size and well matured, which is absolutely essential for producing exhi- 
bition flowers.
